lock #3 and #2 are good places to start. I haven't fished them as of yet but that is what I keep seeing repeated. Also if your closer to moncure Sanford area the 42 bridge is a good place also all the way up to the dam.

I fish the Cape Fear and NE Cape Fear in that area. There are some really good fish down through there, but the water is pretty deep everywhere, so it can be hard to locate the fish at times. Join in creeks, and sand bars adjacent to deep water, are often good places to start.
